Meet the Composer

Noah N. Zubia-Sanchez, an emerging Latin-American artist in the composition landscape, captivates global audiences through his music, streamed on Spotify and Apple Music. Driven by a deep-rooted passion for music composition, Sanchez defies Eurocentric norms, infusing his distinctive style with the diverse and captivating flavors of Latin music. His journey in composition began in late high school, where self-teaching, fueled by the boundless resources of the internet, laid the foundation for his musical aspirations. Further honing his craft, Sanchez immersed himself in a three-year program at the Coil School for the Arts, Riverside City College, studying under the tutelage of Steven Schmidt, and completing his undergraduate studies at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music under the mentorship of Dr. Mason Bates.

Sanchez notably is the winner of the 1st annual Doug and Ray Magnon Foundation Composition Competition (2020) through the Riverside Philharmonic.
